𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: #Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson believes he opened up a lot of doors and paved the way for other African American quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes, he told @Outkick “For me to be able to go to back-to-back Super Bowls, and win one of them, I think opened up a lot of doors. Now you see guys like Patrick Mahomes who won it; it's really just us so far, but there's more to come.” (H/T: @thepick6com)
@jasrifootball @Outkick the nick foles disrespect is crazy
@jasrifootball @Outkick I mean if Donovan Mcnabb, Warren moon, Doug Williams, Dante cullepepper, Micheal Vick, Randall Cunningham all didn’t exist then yeah you would be right about that
@jasrifootball @Outkick Neither Patrick nor Russell black tho 😭😭😭😭😭
@jasrifootball @Outkick True. Facts. Pat Mahomes would be working the graveyard shift at the local Amazon delivery center if it weren’t for Russell Wilson’s sacrifices and trail blazing. What a martyr. Russell “Jesus” Wilson.
Russell Wilson's success as a quarterback, including his back-to-back Super Bowl appearances and win, has indeed made a significant impact on the NFL landscape. By demonstrating his skills and leadership on such a high-profile stage, he has helped to challenge and change perceptions about the abilities of African American quarterbacks. This has likely contributed to greater opportunities for other talented players, like Patrick Mahomes, to showcase their skills and achieve success in the league. While it is true that Wilson and Mahomes are the only African American quarterbacks to have won a Super Bowl as of the time of the provided data, it is also important to acknowledge the contributions of other African American quarterbacks throughout NFL history. Players like Doug Williams, who was the first African American quarterback to win a Super Bowl, and Warren Moon, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, have also played crucial roles in paving the way for future generations of quarterbacks. As the NFL continues to evolve and embrace diversity, it is likely that we will see more African American quarterbacks achieving success and breaking barriers. The combined efforts of players like Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, Doug Williams, and Warren Moon, among others, have helped to create a more inclusive and diverse league, where talent and skill are the primary factors in determining success on the field.
@jasrifootball @Outkick Doug Williams would like to have a word with you
@jasrifootball @Outkick I’d say he more opened the door for shorter guys like Kyler Murray, not only giving him a chance, but wasting a first overall pick on a shorty. That doesn’t happen without Russell’s success.
@jasrifootball @Outkick I’d like to hear @AB84’s take on this.
